Introduction
Over the past few decades, there has been adversely impacting the environment, and posing serious ecological and health hazards. Environmental risk management aims at studying the nature of hazards ( emission of pollutant , natural hazard events, use of a hazardous technology, or any possible combination of these), estimating the associated probability of occurrence of such events and characterizing the adverse effects of environmental hazards resulting from human and ecological exposures.
For me to know that you have any knowledge about hazards and risks, I prepared a short quiz for quiz for you. Kindly check and answers the link below. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5--sLvBpYR9q3twGgXB2mwdQtpUyMTUbhvm5LkJx7I_1q9g/viewform?usp=pp_url

HAZARDS AND RISKS
What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk'?
A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg electricity, chemicals, working up a
ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress.
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse
health effect once to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment
loss.
A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.
In order for you to understand well the difference between Hazards and risk I prepared a short video.
